Police Services and Local Authorities

Family Guidance

If you feel it is appropriate, please direct families of missing people to our family guidance pages, which offer advice and information about what to do when a family member goes missing.

The charity Missing People has 25 years’ frontline experience and provides a range of services for police handling missing person investigations and local authorities, including taking referrals for family support, making Publicity Appeals and sending supportive text messages to missing children and adults (TextSafe®).
